Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey

Another Thought for the Day of the hymns which are special to me and I hope will be of interest to you all. It is ‘Dear Lord and Father of Mankind’. This hymn has been special for a number of reasons. The first being that I just love the sentiments and the tune which seems…
